Talk:Orkneyinga saga

[[Category: good articles|Orkneyinga saga]]

A citate:

"The saga begins with the semi-mythical capture of the islands by the King of Norway before moving on to more factual matters."

May I ask why the first three chapters always have been seen as a non-trueish text?

Names of months

You know, thorsmonth and goimonth are neither Swedish nor Norwegian. It's torsmånad and göjemånad in Swedish and probably something similar in Norwegian. Bo Lindbergh 08:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Name of the man

I believe the link for Ragnvald, Earl of Moer, goes to the wrong article. There are two historical Ragnvald, better check these. Finn Bjo

Sources

It would be good to know something about our sources for the saga. Are there multiple manuscripts, where are they, how different are they, how well preserved are they, what language are they written in? Mhkay (talk) 08:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, the link provided for the Old Norse version doesn't work on my computer, is there a different site it can be found on? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.3.2.153 (talk) 19:56, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
